A pilot study on the efficacy of a seaweed mud application in the treatment of cellulite.

Background: Cellulite represents a common multi-factorial condition that affects nearly all women and is now recognized as a clinical condition associated with systemic factors and negative psychological effects. Several noninvasive and minimally invasive treatments were developed during the last few years, but limited evidence supports many of them due to lack of evidence, insufficient participants, and potential adverse effects.

Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a seaweed mud application in improving both the structure and function of tissues affected by cellulite.

PECARN Rule in diagnostic process of pediatric patients with minor head trauma in emergency department.

Unlabelled: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the PECARN Rule (PR) in reducing radiological investigations in children with mild traumatic head injury in comparison with current clinical practice. A retrospective study was performed in our hospital between July 2015 and June 2020. Data of all children < 18 years of age admitted to the emergency department (ED), within 24 h after a head trauma with GCS ≥ 14, were analyzed.

IBI Score to Improve Clinical Practice in Newborns and Infants ≤ 60 Days with Fever in the Emergency Department.

Fever is the most common problem of children admitted to emergency department (ED). The management of febrile patients ≤ 60 d old admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Department in the last 5 y was evaluated, applying the invasive bacterial infection (IBI) score proposed to evaluate the reliability and safety of this score in the authors' setting.Medical records of 280 patients with fever reported and/or detected in ED were retrospectively analyzed.

Complications associated with myocardial bridging in four children without underlying cardiac disease: a case series.

Background: Myocardial bridging is largely considered to be a benign, symptomless congenital anomaly of the coronary arteries in which the intramyocardial coronary course is partially 'tunnelled' and leads to vessel compression during ventricular systole. There are few data regarding children.

Objective: To report on myocardial bridging observed in children seeking medical help in the paediatric emergency room.

Sensitivity of prick test with walnut commercial extracts and of prick by prick with raw walnut compared with open food challenge in walnut allergy.

Background And Aim: Diagnosis of walnut allergy includes the evaluation of IgE sensitization by skin prick tests (SPT) with standardized commercial extracts. When assuming the loss of relevant allergens due to extract preparation and storage, it is possible to perform SPT with fresh foods, i.e.
